[PATCH v6 11/12] PCI: liveupdate: Do not disable bus mastering on preserved devices during kexec

Do not disable bus mastering on outgoing preserved devices during
pci_device_shutdown() for kexec.

Preserved devices must be allowed to perform memory transactions during
a Live Update to ensure continuous operation.  Clearing the bus
mastering bit would prevent these devices from issuing any memory
requests while the new kernel boots.

Because bridges upstream of preserved endpoint devices are also
automatically preserved, this change also avoids clearing bus mastering
on them. This is critical because clearing bus mastering on an upstream
bridge prevents the bridge from forwarding memory requests upstream (i.e.
it would prevent the endpoint device from accessing system RAM and doing
peer-to-peer transactions with devices not downstream of the bridge).
